Rating: - Good for early teen-agers
I'm a computer scientist and taught my 11-year-old son with this book.
No difficulty was found and I decided to buy other "for Dummies" series for my son and myself.

Rating: - Good for absolute noobs, but not in depth...
If you know nothing about programming, this book is pretty much for you. It discusses the most basic elements of the Java programming language, with good coverage of syntax and keywords. However, it simply doesn't go into great enough depth about everything. If it's for beginners, it ought to explain all the nuances of Java (what is public static void for), and cover the things most people would take for granted in depth. Overall, a good read for a beginner programmer, though!
Rating: - Excellent book for learning JAVA.. The best java book for begineers.
I liked the author and his methodology right from the start of the book. His lighter and funny way to explain not only makes reading interesting but it helps you to understand the content better and faster.
I did not know Java before reading and now after reading the book, i KNOW Java, i did not Master Java (the book is not for a person to master) but i learnt a lot. The book would definitely do what its intended to do.. It'll teach you Java, if it sounds greek to you.

This book teaches you entry level hands on Java Programming in real time and as you read along, you actually have to have JCreator open while reading and practicing the basics of Java, it makes for a good solid foundation for later Programming Languages.
Rating: - Great and Fun Intro to Programming
If you're looking for a basic intro to programming and want to learn a little Java, than this is the perfect book for you. I really enjoyed reading it because the author has such an awesome sense of humor. But, if you really want to learn Java in-depth and have no programming experience at all than I recommend this book along with another more detailed book about Java. After I read this book I read Just Java 2 to get more into Java. Otherwise, this book was really fun to read and accomplishes ... Read More
